Pippin is vintage Fosse from the early 1970s - I think the movie was made in the late 70s. "Granny" from the Beverly Hillbillies was in the Broadway production (I think - I don't think it was the movie). Still, it doesn't fit in with the Rogers & Hammerstein/Rodgers & Hart/ 60's musical theme that they had going.
The only ones that didn't make me cringe last night were Anwar, Nadia, and Vonzell. For the rest of them, all I could think was how they were just ruining the songs. And there were lots of botched lyrics, especially Clay 2.5 and Bo.
And I was hoping that Simon would make some comment to Scott about whether "to fight the unbeatable foe" included his girlfriend.
